DEATHlIh THE WATER:
IS THE ELEMENT WE DRINK DECIMATING THE PEOPLE!
How n Universal Menace to Health
 May Be Disarmed.

Afew years ago the people in a certain section in one of the leading cities of the State were prostrated with a malignant disease, and upon investigation it was found that only those who used water from famous old well were the victims.
 Professor =. A. Lattimore, analyst of the New York State Board of Health, upon analyzing water from this well, found it more deadly than the city sewage,
 The filling up of the old well stopped the ravages of the disease.
 Not long since the writer noticed while come men were making an excavation for a large building, a stratum Of dark co,ored earth running from near the surface to hard pan. There it took an- other course toward a well near at hand. The water from this well had for years been tainted with the trainings from a receivin. vault, the pcrcolatiOns of which had discolored the earth @.s t.
 Terrible .
 A similar condition of things exists in every village and city where well water k used. and though the Altering which the fluids receive in passing through ths earth may give them a clear appearance. vet the poison and disease remains, though the water may look never So clear
 It is still worse with the farmer, for the drainage from the barn-yard and the sfops from the kitchen eventually find their way into the family well.
 The same condition Of things exists in our large cities. whose water supplies are rivers fed by little streams that carry oh the filth and drainage from houses. This water" is eventually drunk by rich and poor alike with great evil.
 Some cautious people resort 10 the hlter for purifying this water, but even the filter does not remove this poison Tor water of the most deadly character may pass through this filter and become clear, yet the poison disguised IS there.
 They who use filters know that they must be renewed at regular periods, for even though they do not take out all the imuuritv. they soon become foul.
 Now in like manner the human kid news act as d filter for the blood, and fl thcv are filled up with impurities and become foul, like the filter, all the blood in the system coursing through them be- comes bad. for it is now a conceded fact that the kidneys are the chief means whereby inc blood is purified. These oryans are filed with thousands of hair EE> 'ugss which drain the impurities from the blood. as the sewer pipes drain impurities from our houses.
 If A sewer pipe breaks under the house, the sewage escapes into the earth and fills the house with poisonous gas; so If any of the thousand and one little hair ike sewer tubes of the kidneys break down, the entire body k affected by this awful poison.
 Ii is a scientific fact that the kidneys have few nerves Of sensation; and, con soquentlv. disease may exist m these organs for g long time and not be sus- pected bv the individual.
